Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is attractive, and gives you the looks of a hard wood floor without the heavy price tag. These floors can be used in any area of your
Laminate floors are generally classified based on their AC ratings. These ratings are given to a laminate based on several tests that determine its resistance to staining, scratching, denting as well as burns. Laminates are also tested for other factors, like swelling and the impact of furniture. AC ratings generally reflect the laminate's application - whether residential or commercial, traffic intensity (light, moderate or heavy) and durability. Before installing a laminate flooring, make sure the sub floor is well laid out. An even sub floor can make it difficult to lock the planks together. If you have an old floor that you would like to replace without tearing out the existing floor, then a laminate floor allows you to install a new floor without the need for stapling and gluing.
Although laminate floors come with AC ratings that signify that they have passed all test requirements, you still need to take care of your laminate floor to avoid dents and stains. Look for an AC rating of 3 for your home, although a rating of AC 1 will do for a light use room like a bed room. Protect your floor by using rugs or carpets, and make sure that all floor coverings are made of color fast materials that won't stain your floor. Avoid rough carpet materials that may catch your floor. Never use house hold bleach, ammonia cleaners or detergents to clean your laminate floors. Use products that are recommended by your manufacturer.
